I mean, I’m as surprised as you are. UF pitching was thin and you guys stung us for lots of runs. None of the wins ever felt remotely safe. I think I saw something where most of our pitchers had <25innings under their belt in college. Talent is there but it’ll take time to click for sure. I’m glad we somehow managed to squeak out a series win. It was desperately needed.

Miami swept UVA this week to stake their claim as the best team in the ACC. Been ups and downs for everyone though.

Why does the too much pine tar rule still exist at any level of play? What is the theoretical advantage to the hitter to smear it up a little too high on the bat?

Can potentially create extra backspin on the ball. Whether it’s enough to affect a hit is a little murky but it’s enough that it raises complaints when one dude has it all up his bat and others don’t and that dude cranks a home run.

Tech broke their Sunday issues with a walk-off HR to sweep KSU. Was a necessary series sweep for momentum after dropping 2 to GCU midweek. Coming up on our series at TCU, which will be huge for the conference championship race.

Thought I posted this earlier in the week but realizing now I didn't.code:Biggest news of the midweek so far is two top 5 losses, Texas Tech to Oklahoma and Tennessee to Tennessee Tech. Miami had to dig deep against FAU, down 6-2 going into the bottom of the 7th, to get a win or there would have been a third. Midweek games are not always indicators of any issues given it's, a lot of times, the chance for your lesser used players to get a run out, but Texas slide kind of started with a midweek loss so....... lol no Tennesee is going to destroy Alabama this weekend, I am glad they are playing a different A school. Thursday games in parenthesis Top 25 matchups: #14 LSU @ #6 Arkansas (Arkansas won 5-4) #2 Miami @ #t-24 Virginia Tech (Virginia Tech won 12-5) #23 Florida @ #20 Vanderbilt #18 Stanford @ #11 UCLA (Stanford won 9-1) Top 5 teams: Long Beach State @ #5 Oregon State (Oregon State won 3-1) #4 Texas Tech @ TCU (TCU won 7-4) #3 Oklahoma State @ West Virginia Alabama @ #1 Tennessee

Tony got tossed for this last night and will probably get suspended but lol at the umps reaction, gently caress that dweeb. https://twitter.com/zackrickenstv/status/1515455361515458562?s=21&t=392-pe1hFLZ7veYuNS-BUw Later the ump took issue with the fur coat the players put on after a home run and told them they couldn’t do it anymore. Same ump also tossed the Bama first base coach later in the game. e: lol this is apparently the same guy who threw our 3rd base coach out of the game in the CWS last year…when he was in the dugout. Apparently he’s known for showing his rear end and making it the ump show. Joey Freshwater fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Apr 17, 2022 |

This Florida team is infuriating. We’ve had late leads in all three games against Vandy and gave up all of them. Facing a sweep and up 3-1 on the last strike of the game, we gave up a tying 2-run shot. Managed to win in the tenth after a throwing error and a balk put the tying run on second with two out B10. I know it’s a young team but this is two years of underperformance after losing the 2020 season as #1. Not sure what the future looks like here but with a ascendant Tennessee and several SEC powers having emerged over the past 5 years I’m not super optimistic.

Tech got swept by TCU. Dunno what happened in game 3, but game 2 had the stupidest ending: Tech gets bases loaded, 1 out, pitcher walks one home to make it 3-4. Gets called for a balk to make it 4-4. Other umps overrule the balk, say he stepped off the bag. Most awkward looking thing had the pitcher do a weird jump as their lead foot is coming down? I dunno, it was dumb. They only showed the replay once. Tadlock almost got tossed. Pitcher managed to escape with an infield fly and a grounder. Tech players almost got in a fight with the Umps after the last out. Disappointing series for TTU and really opens the Big XII up.

After reaching #4 in most polls, Tech has lost the last 5, dropping a mid-week game to UNM after a walk-off HR. This after going up 6-0 in the game. This team is inconsistent!

I don't know what college rotations are like but I always found it laughable when a pitcher gets a 4 or 5 game suspension. Like ok I'll just take an extra rest day. Was there ever any story about what the batter did that caused that reaction? With no context I'm surprised the pitcher didn't get even more punishment.

Nothing specific that I’ve seen, just “taunting” which could be a bunch of stuff. I don’t think there’s anything he could have said that warranted what the pitcher did though, but who knows Also saw that the school is considering expelling the pitching which lol he was planning on transferring anyway e: yeah he was expelled.

The only even remote justification would be something racial but then you look like a real doofus suspending the pitcher twice as long (yes I know that's technically only one start for a pitcher) so I assume that is not it e: actually now that I think about it if that pitcher is in fact a starter, in college generally you play a weekend 3 game series and a Tuesday game every week so that literally is one start and therefore less than the guy he tackled, lol fast cars loose anus fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Apr 22, 2022 |

I think suspensions should be different for pitchers and position players. Your example is correct in that a four game suspension is better for a pitcher than it is a position player. Suspensions should be for starts, not for games. Coaches and non-starters can still be for games.

Vols sweep the Gators and now hold the record for best start in SEC history at 17-1 Vols were down 3 in the 9th but came back to tie and eventually win in the 11th. This is how the game ended: https://twitter.com/Vol_Baseball/status/1518312883326578688?s=20&t=0QrGo96x2KH1hnCqvlBTuw e: it was the first time the Gators have been swept at home since 2006 which is just an insane stat.

code:Collegiate Baseball... what are you doin? Arizona is #26 in the composite solely on CB giving them the #11 slot, no one else has them ranked. UC Santa Barbara, #27, is the same - Collegiate Baseball has them at 13 while no one else has them at all. They also have Virginia Tech unranked, a team that is between 5 and 10 in every other poll. Gonzaga (9-14 in all other polls) also unranked, while Vanderbilt is 6 (18 to unranked) and Texas State is 7 (18 to unranked). I know different opinions will exist but... that's a wild outlier. Florida State was the lone team to fall out this week. Gonzaga, Oregon, and Oklahoma State had the other biggest slides, down 4 or 5 spots. Arkansas lost a tough series on the road to Texas A&M. Game three the Hogs were down big early, but fought back to an 11-10 loss. Tough to take, but gotta remember: The Arkansas team in the Cursed Year that finished runner up lost every single road SEC series they played that year, so it's not about now. But Sunday starter has to be figured out sooner rather than later. Couple of Top 10 matchups in Va Tech @ Virginia and OKSt @ Texas, those could be fun, and of course watching the Death Star march on is exciting, too. Poor Auburn. Top 25 matchups this week: #9 Virginia Tech @ #8 Virginia #20 Auburn @ #1 Tennessee #7 Oklahoma State @ #10 Texas #18 Georgia @ #23 LSU Top 5 teams not in the above: #2 Oregon State @ Utah #3 Miami @ Georgia Tech #4 Southern Miss @ UAB Ole Miss @ #5 Arkansas

Yeah I looked at one point and all four of the Top 5 that were in game were losing (Southern Miss being the lone game that hadn’t started or at least didn’t have a score I could see) and I thought “this will be interesting” Then, well, as Holly Anderson put it https://twitter.com/hollyanderson/status/1520226717385773057?s=21&t=fn7Wy98V9iTuewsQP_91cA #2 thru #6 all lost last night, could be setting up for the baseball equivalent of a blood week
